The study of gas transport to the inner regions of galaxies is a fundamental aspect in our understanding of the way galaxies evolve. In this context, star-forming nuclear rings are key features as they contain large amounts of gas and are the sites where a significant fraction of the current star formation is taking place in their host galaxies. Here we present some results from a study of how star formation progresses along nuclear star-forming rings in five spiral galaxies, based on near-infrared SINFONI integral-field observations at the VLT.
